Summary

Today's episode is from the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Andrew Yang and Charlie and I had a chance to walk the halls of the DNC and confront some of the crazier people in the hallways. It was an interesting day and I have some takeaways from walking the halls and confronting a few of the most vile people I've ever met in my life. 1. The DNC is one of the saddest groups of people I have ever seen. 2. Leftwingers and leftwing activists are very well aware of the power of The Charlie Kirk Show. 3. The power of this show has penetrated right-wing circles. 4. This show does not just penetrate rightwing circles, it doesn't just get to swing voters. 5. The mission of Turning Point USA is to play offense. The whole point of this program is a sense of urgency to win the culture war. And if you don't play offense, you won't win. 6. You won't get a single left winger like the ones we encountered at the DNC. 7. You'll get sneered at. 8. You don't have to be a swing voter. 9. You have to go to the D.C. convention to see what's going on. 10. You can't win unless you go there. 11. It's a party of joy. 12. You're not going to get any better than this. 13. You've got to be ready to go into the unpopular lion's den. 14. Don't miss it. 15. You need to be prepared to get a MAGA hat. 16. Get a MAGa hat? 17. Get your MAGA hats! And get involved with Turning Point Action today! 15 Join us in our mission to play the offense and go into The Unconventional Lion's Den. 18. Play offense! 19. Play the offense, play the game. 21. The game is not the game that matters. 22. The only thing you can win the game, and you'll be better than the game you've been taught in school. or you're not playing the game we're playing it the right way. and you're going to be better off than we know it's going to win it, right here, right in front of you, right on the other side of the table, right?

00:01:29.000 Yesterday, we had a rather eventful day at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago.
00:01:34.000 We did our show from the wonderful Pizza Parlor and Bocce's Pizza.
00:01:38.000 And Andrew and I said, let's just go walk the halls.
00:01:41.000 Let's just go see what's happening here.
00:01:43.000 And so we had a credential pass.
00:01:46.000 We still do.
00:01:46.000 And we decided to go right into the DNC.
00:01:49.000 And within seconds of entering into the DNC, I was approached and confronted by this very high energy A kid from Georgia wearing a seersucker suit, and he was just berating me.
00:02:05.000 Do we have the clip, by the way, for radio?
00:02:07.000 Do we have the clip?
00:02:08.000 And I was like, I'm not doing this right now.
00:02:11.000 I'm literally here as a radio host, a journalist.
00:02:14.000 I'm here to learn.
00:02:15.000 And he was just berating me, screaming at me.
00:02:19.000 And so then I asked him a very simple fundamental biological question, and then he starts swearing at me and runs off like the lunatic that he is.
00:02:27.000 So, Andrew and I continued to walk around the convention.
00:02:30.000 I have so many takeaways.
00:02:32.000 And again, if looks could kill, I would not be alive today.
00:02:36.000 Walking the hall of people that were just sneering me, and that was one of the takeaways, is that this program, this show, our social media Power?
00:02:46.000 It does not just penetrate right-wing circles.
00:02:50.000 It doesn't just get to swing voters.
00:02:52.000 Left-wingers and left-wing activists are very, very well aware of the power of Real America's Voice, of The Charlie Kirk Show, of our national radio audience.
00:03:03.000 It's interesting.
00:03:04.000 They know our stuff.
00:03:06.000 They follow our channels.
00:03:08.000 They know some of our arguments.
00:03:10.000 In fact, there were delegates that were coming up to me saying, you know, I kind of hate you, but I follow your stuff.
00:03:17.000 In fact, there was one interaction that I want to clip up where a young man named Arthur, who is actually wearing a Kamala Harris button, but he says, I'm kind of a swing voter.
00:03:26.000 And we, we, we filmed that interaction.
00:03:29.000 It was, it was a great conversation.
00:03:32.000 I will say this, that the difference between the RNC and the DNC is so dramatic.
00:03:38.000 The DNC is one of the saddest group of people I've ever seen in my life.
00:03:43.000 There is no joy.
00:03:44.000 This whole idea of joy is so fake.
00:03:46.000 It's so manufactured.
00:03:48.000 By the way, the party of joy, they come up to me and start screaming and swearing at me.
00:03:51.000 I said, well, what is all this joy here?
00:03:53.000 One of them says, well, profane times require profane measures, you effing lunatic.
00:03:57.000 I said, wow, OK.
00:03:59.000 Well, thank you so much.
00:04:00.000 Mind you, we did not treat a single left winger like that at the RNC, not a single left winger that was there.
00:04:07.000 Did we?
00:04:09.000 confront them with the kind of profanity-laced nonsense that we experienced yesterday.
00:04:14.000 The DNC, we made a decision to go because the whole mission of this program, the mission of
00:04:23.000 Turning Point USA, the mission of Turning Point Action is to play offense with a sense of urgency
00:04:27.000 to win the American culture war.
00:04:29.000 And you can't play offense if you're just sitting in your studio.
00:04:33.000 And we got a media badge.
00:04:34.000 We went right in.
00:04:35.000 And I will tell you, the amount of people that said, I cannot believe you're here.
00:04:38.000 I said, listen, I go to college campuses.
00:04:40.000 This is nothing.
00:04:42.000 And the people who did come up, I'll say two things.
00:04:46.000 Number one, the delegates, obviously, were just complete automatons for the Democrat regime.
00:04:51.000 I asked them, I said, are you upset you didn't get to vote for Kamala Harris?
00:04:54.000 No, she's the greatest.
00:04:56.000 She is our leader.
00:04:56.000 It's like, OK, well, forget it.
00:04:57.000 That doesn't really do much.
00:05:04.000 The other part, though, is you know who did come up asking for selfies?
00:05:07.000 Was the people working the convention.
00:05:10.000 The security guards, the police officers, the janitorial crew, the electrical workers, the actual rank-and-file muscular class of the United Center.
00:05:21.000 They are more MAGA than they ever have been.
00:05:24.000 And that shows that the divides right now in America are not based on race.
00:05:28.000 They are based on class.
00:05:30.000 The police officers all wanted selfies.
00:05:32.000 The Secret Service all wanted selfies.
00:05:34.000 But also, the people that were doing the non-security work, because you expect if you're in security, you're generally temperamentally conservative.
00:05:42.000 You own firearms.
00:05:43.000 You're in that space.
00:05:44.000 You're not exactly akin or friendly to Democrat ideas.
00:05:49.000 But it was the Hispanic woman that was doing the janitorial work.
00:05:55.000 And she comes up with both thumbs up.
00:05:57.000 She says, MAGA MAGA.
00:06:00.000 And Andrew will reinforce it.
00:06:01.000 It was widespread.
00:06:02.000 If you would have taken a poll, not just of the delegates, but of the people working at the convention, Donald Trump would have won the Democrat National Convention workers poll.
00:06:13.000 Andrew says it's 80-20.
00:06:13.000 Would you say?
00:06:15.000 It wasn't even close.
00:06:16.000 They are so... And by the way, being around all of these Democrats, I don't necessarily think that that is...
00:06:24.000 Winning over more votes in Chicago.
00:06:26.000 So here's one of the interactions here.
00:06:28.000 Again, I was minding my own business, which I don't do a good job minding my own business.
00:06:31.000 I'm 6'4 and a bad day.
00:06:33.000 And I'm, you know, the face for radio, awfully recognizable.
00:06:37.000 And this video has been seen 15 million times, where he just comes up and starts berating me.
00:06:43.000 I'm like, dude, I'm not doing this right now.
00:06:45.000 You're at a 10.
00:06:45.000 Can you calm down?
00:06:47.000 He kept on going, asked him a very simple question, and he lost his mind.
00:06:50.000 Play cut 47, please.
00:06:52.000 Because we have a Republican Governor and a Republican Secretary of State in the state of Georgia.
00:06:55.000 What's your name?
00:06:56.000 My name's Parker.
00:06:57.000 We have a Republican Governor and a Republican Secretary of State in Georgia that approved our elections and Donald Trump said that wasn't constitutional.
00:07:04.000 Donald Trump tried to undermine our constitution.
00:07:08.000 Hey, you're an anti-patriotic, anti-constitutional person crashing our party because you tried to stop our democracy.
00:07:14.000 Donald Trump called the Secretary of State of Georgia and told him to find him some votes.
00:07:18.000 What is a woman?
00:07:19.000 Oh my god.
00:07:20.000 That is so f***ing weird, y'all.
00:07:23.000 Maybe you should meet one.
00:07:25.000 I'm married to one.
00:07:27.000 Same.
00:07:30.000 Yeah.
00:07:31.000 So based on all public research, I don't think he's married.
00:07:34.000 Maybe I'm wrong.
00:07:36.000 Maybe he's the head of the Young Democrats and he is married.
00:07:40.000 So he just starts screaming, and I ask him, what is a woman?
00:07:43.000 They can never answer that question.
00:07:44.000 It's a great conversation at the DNC.
00:07:46.000 If you want to ask a question, if you want to end a conversation at the DNC, ask a series of questions.
00:07:50.000 When does life begin?
00:07:52.000 What is a woman?
00:07:52.000 And what are Kamala Harris's accomplishments?
00:07:54.000 It's just like, I can't talk to you anymore.
00:07:59.000 The disconnect between the Rank-and-file of the Democrat Party who say they support workers and the people also working the Democrat National Convention is dramatic.
00:08:17.000 It is a microcosm.
00:08:19.000 And I went in there not knowing what to expect.
00:08:22.000 I went in there saying, look, I don't know exactly if anyone's going to be open-minded, if they're going to be... Again, the rank-and-file delegates, media members of the Democrat Press Corps, They're as partisan as you would expect.
00:08:37.000 They're as left-wing as you could imagine.
00:08:41.000 Oh, I'm on his Wikipedia page?
00:08:42.000 Great.
00:08:43.000 It's really, really great.
00:08:45.000 It is the smug elites versus we the people.
00:08:49.000 And the Democrat oligarchs, they say that they are for the workers, but our movement is multiracial.
00:08:57.000 Our movement is multigenerational.
00:08:59.000 Our movement is ascending.
00:09:04.000 And there were three different categories if I had to summarize yesterday.
00:09:09.000 The first category, I would say that one-third of all the attendees were black Americans.
00:09:15.000 And I have to say, as a compliment, the wardrobe of the black Americans at the DNC was the most impressive wardrobe I've ever seen of any polemic.
00:09:25.000 I made the joke yesterday.
00:09:27.000 The haberdasher of the Black Democrat caucus deserves an award.
00:09:30.000 I'm talking about the most impressive clean-cut suits, and they were red, and they were yellow, and they were blue.
00:09:36.000 So that was one group.
00:09:37.000 Definitely, I'd say almost one out of three attendees at the DNC were Black.
00:09:42.000 The second category was white liberal women.
00:09:46.000 I would say that nearly half of all the attendees were white liberal women.
00:09:51.000 Very, very few, by the way, white men.
00:09:53.000 Very, very few.
00:09:54.000 The third category, though, was just kind of your typical Seattle, Portland, let's just say, I'm going to be very polite today, journeyman.
00:10:04.000 Someone that kind of just is drifting.
00:10:07.000 The one that says, not all who wander are lost and they have pink and purple hair.
00:10:12.000 A lot of that going on.
00:10:14.000 What was missing though, two things that were missing, men and also Hispanics.
00:10:21.000 There were more Hispanics working the events as paid staffers at the United Center than Hispanic attendees and Hispanic delegates for the DNC.
00:10:32.000 The Democrat Party has an existential Hispanic problem.
00:10:40.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:10:41.000 I'm a proud American, and that means if you come after me and my family, I'll be ready.

00:11:38.000 Check it out right now.
00:11:42.000 Okay, so let's analyze this for a second.
00:11:46.000 The Democrat National Convention is composed of people that are not independent thinkers.
00:11:53.000 It is such a hive-borg collective mind, and to see it on full display was fascinating.
00:12:00.000 These are people that have their nine booster shots.
00:12:02.000 And by the way, one of my favorite text messages I got yesterday is, Charlie, be careful of all the shedding from the vaccine.
00:12:07.000 You have like the amount of people that are like on their 10th booster shot.
00:12:11.000 These are people that were masked in vax.
00:12:14.000 These are people that if Anthony Fauci took the stage, he would get three minutes of a standing ovation.
00:12:21.000 These are people that believe the government can never be wrong.
00:12:25.000 They believe fundamentally that The government must be bigger than the citizen.
00:12:34.000 The lack of critical thinking is shocking.
00:12:37.000 These are people that always yield to respect the experts to the point where they have turned off their own brains, not researching and investigating their own viewpoints.
00:12:49.000 And they're trying to force feed this Party of Joy narrative.
00:12:54.000 Here's just one of many altercations.
00:12:56.000 I'm just walking the halls doing my thing, and this lunatic, another one, comes up to me.
00:13:02.000 This is a short moment here of him screaming at me, play cut 48.
00:13:08.000 Is that pro-life, Charlie?
00:13:10.000 Do you believe in giving children food?
00:13:12.000 Do you believe in giving children food, Charlie?
00:13:15.000 What about health care programs, Charlie?
00:13:18.000 Pro-life means protecting them after they're born, Charlie.
00:13:21.000 Not just forcing women to give birth and then dying in the process, Charlie.
00:13:26.000 That's more profane than anything I've used, Charlie.
00:13:28.000 That's the party of joy.
00:13:30.000 The profane, that's the bigot.
00:13:32.000 Why are you even here?
00:13:34.000 That's the party of joy right there.
00:13:36.000 The Democrat party is lying to you about who they actually are personally.
00:13:44.000 What you see put on stage is completely different than who they are.
00:13:49.000 These are people that are not happy with their own personal lives.
00:13:52.000 These are people that do not look to their family, to their community, to their church for deep and eternal meaning.
00:14:01.000 For them, politics is their meaning.
00:14:03.000 This here is a church gathering to them.
00:14:06.000 For them, this is a place where you do not say anything against the Democrat National Convention.
00:14:13.000 You do not say anything against the Democrat regime.
00:14:16.000 And even with that, there was a lack of the type of MAGA joy that I saw at the RNC in the sense where there wasn't that over-the-top enthusiasm or energy.
00:14:28.000 It was, here I am doing my part.
00:14:30.000 We're part of the Hive Mind and the Borg Collective.
00:14:35.000 There I was trying to seek intellectual discourse.
00:14:40.000 And they continually had temper tantrums, and for them, politics fills an existential void.
00:14:49.000 A major existential void that they fill with getting involved in our revolution.
00:14:56.000 I want to play a piece of tape here of one of the speakers.
00:15:03.000 This is Jamie Raskin.
00:15:07.000 Welcome to the Democracy Convention!
00:15:08.000 Welcome to the Freedom Convention!
00:15:10.000 Lincoln was a Republican.
00:15:12.000 Play cut 44.
00:15:13.000 Welcome to the democracy convention.
00:15:16.000 Welcome to the freedom convention.
00:15:19.000 We meet in this great city tonight where Abraham Lincoln was nominated in 1860 to save the
00:15:27.000 union from fanatical insurrectionists.
00:15:32.000 For the Democrat Party, they are losing with Hispanics and they are losing with men.
00:15:37.000 Again, it is composed, the body politic of the Democrat Convention is black politicians, definitely well represented there.
00:15:45.000 That is as strong as ever, especially with Kamala.
00:15:49.000 Would you agree, Andrew?
00:15:49.000 That is definitely strong.
00:15:51.000 White liberal women that are very, very angry.
00:15:55.000 In fact, one woman came right up to me and called me the worst thing I've ever been called in my life.
00:15:59.000 And then effeminate men.
00:16:01.000 That is the Democrat Party.
00:16:04.000 They're missing men.
00:16:04.000 They're missing Hispanics.
00:16:05.000 And you know what I didn't see?
00:16:07.000 Any families.
00:16:11.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:12.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.
00:16:14.000 We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:16:18.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:16:20.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:16:25.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:16:32.000 Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.

00:17:13.000 We're here on the front lines of the DNC in Chicago.
00:17:16.000 One of the few conservatives that have really decided to go to the DNC and to face it head-on.
00:17:24.000 At the RNC, it was so interesting.
00:17:26.000 The amount of families that were at the RNC.
00:17:29.000 New moms, young kids running around.
00:17:33.000 It was a family-friendly event.
00:17:36.000 The warmth of the RNC, and it's very clear that the Republican Party is the family party.
00:17:41.000 If I were to give some advice to President Trump and his campaign, and they're doing a great job, Susie, James, Chris Lasavita.
00:17:48.000 By the way, we have President Trump coming to Phoenix this Friday.
00:17:50.000 It's going to be amazing.
00:17:52.000 If I were to give some advice, it would be constantly say, we are the family party.
00:17:57.000 They are not.
00:17:58.000 We are the family party.
00:17:59.000 We are the family party.
00:18:01.000 J.D.
00:18:01.000 Vance was attacked by the media for saying that we are the party of strong nuclear families.
00:18:07.000 Strong nuclear families are a threat.
00:18:11.000 To the regime.
00:18:13.000 Strong nuclear families are a threat to the Great Reset.
00:18:16.000 Strong nuclear families are a threat to the growing rise of socialism and Marxism in this country.
00:18:21.000 When you have strong nuclear families, you do not need government-provided school lunches.
00:18:27.000 When you have strong nuclear families, you do not need taxpayer-funded government healthcare.
00:18:34.000 When you have strong nuclear families, that becomes the social safety net.
00:18:38.000 When you break apart the nuclear family, Well then all of a sudden government comes in and replaces God and the family.
00:18:47.000 A lot has been made of this at the DNC, but it's worth repeating and going into.
00:18:52.000 The DNC has an outward depopulation agenda.
00:18:57.000 It's not an exaggeration.
00:18:59.000 There is something morally troubling with the Democrat Party.
00:19:03.000 There's something morally disturbing with the Democrat Party.
00:19:07.000 And I'm not talking about just one off thing.
00:19:10.000 The fact that the Democrat Party ...has embraced bringing up this clinic, this RV clinic, to Chicago during the DNC.
00:19:22.000 The DNC, by the way, is advertising it, saying, yep, this clinic is officially part of us and we're really happy with it.
00:19:27.000 That is giving young women abortion procedures via the pill and men vasectomies.
00:19:34.000 What are they really trying to say here?
00:19:36.000 You see, the Democrat Party used to be saying that abortion was safe, legal, and rare.
00:19:41.000 Now they're saying, we want to make it harder for you to be able to reproduce and to populate the earth.
00:19:48.000 A friend of mine, who I really respect from Chicago, texted me and said, I didn't believe it at first.
00:19:54.000 And he said, there's no way this is real.
00:19:57.000 No, no.
00:19:58.000 This is, they're actually doing the procedure for the vasectomy in this RV tent.
00:20:07.000 In this RV, in this van.
00:20:10.000 Secondly, They say that they are completely booked up.
00:20:17.000 That the demand to be able to castrate yourself, the demand to be able to terminate your living baby is at record levels.
00:20:29.000 So what is the Democrat message to America?
00:20:33.000 Give us power so that we can have less people on earth.
00:20:40.000 If you play out and extrapolate their worldview, you will find that the Democrat Party, they say the future begins with us.
00:20:50.000 How does the future continue if you're not able to have children?
00:20:56.000 It is at its core an outward depopulation agenda.
00:21:00.000 Let's go to Cut 43.
00:21:01.000 This is Deja Fox, who's not exactly a household name for me.
00:21:08.000 Deja Fox, I think, is some sort of a performer or something.
00:21:11.000 Not exactly sure.
00:21:12.000 Play Cut 43.
00:21:14.000 I was a free lunch kid, raised in public housing, and I got my health care at Planned Parenthood.
00:21:25.000 People my age are making big decisions about our lives, and we deserve a president who has our back, not some power-hungry millionaire reality TV personality who only cares about himself.
00:21:43.000 Deja Fox is a reproductive rights activist and political strategist.
00:21:49.000 Abortion used to be something where that if you got an abortion, it was private, it was not something that you would proclaim.
00:21:56.000 Now the Democrat Party is about celebrating abortion.
00:22:01.000 This is one of the reasons, by the way, RFK is contemplating endorsing Donald Trump.
00:22:07.000 What I saw on full display of the Democrat Party is exactly why the breaking news this hour, RFK, via his Vice President, Nicole Shanahan, is thinking about endorsing Donald Trump.
00:22:20.000 RFK has been pulling about 5 or 6% from Donald Trump in each of the states.
00:22:24.000 Now, I want to be very clear that the RFK and Donald Trump disagree on major issues.
00:22:34.000 They disagree on a lot.
00:22:35.000 However, RFK endorsing Donald Trump is the natural move.
00:22:41.000 They are both sworn enemies of the CIA, the FBI, and the military machine.
00:22:48.000 RFK can bring a lot to the table when it comes to dealing with the FDA and the CDC corruption, especially the childhood obesity epidemic where half of all kids in their teen years are overweight in this country, the chronic disease epidemic in this country.
00:23:07.000 RFK can help restore trust in government.
00:23:10.000 What Donald Trump is doing, Elon Musk, he offered a cabinet position.
00:23:15.000 Maybe bring RFK in.
00:23:17.000 Donald Trump is building a team of all-stars that could take back this country.
00:23:23.000 You got Elon Musk with the Department of Government Efficiency.
00:23:26.000 You have RFK going after the FDA and the CDC and saying that we want to have transparency and truth in the childhood vaccination schedule.
00:23:37.000 I don't care if RFK and Donald Trump disagree on immigration policy.
00:23:44.000 I don't care if RFK and Donald Trump disagree on some social issues.
00:23:48.000 They certainly disagree on some environmental policy.
00:23:51.000 That's not what matters.
00:23:53.000 What matters is they agree on the big stuff.
00:23:56.000 RFK and Donald Trump agree on the civilizational, defining issues.
00:24:03.000 This is Nicole Shanahan, this is Breaking This Hour, says they're considering whether to continue their campaign or team up with Donald Trump.
00:24:12.000 And being at the DNC on the front lines of Chicago, I can see exactly why they are contemplating this.
00:24:20.000 Play cut 50, please.
00:24:22.000 You know, there's two options that we're looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Waltz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, or we draw somehow more votes from Trump.
00:24:43.000 Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision.
00:24:59.000 And it would not be a different, difficult explanation for them.
00:25:03.000 The RFK speech should be this.
00:25:06.000 Donald Trump and I are not typical political allies.
00:25:11.000 Here are the six things I disagree with Donald Trump on.
00:25:14.000 Fine.
00:25:14.000 Climate change, all this stuff.
00:25:15.000 List them off.
00:25:17.000 But I got into this fight originally because my dad and my uncle were shot by the same people that are trying to take out Donald Trump.
00:25:27.000 Donald Trump would not have been my first choice.
00:25:30.000 I'm, again, saying what RFK would say.
00:25:32.000 However, Teaming up in a coalition to defeat Team Blue is exactly what these existential crises warrant.
00:25:44.000 And RFK, the fact that RFK and Nicole Shanahan are contemplating this, I think speaks to their character.
00:25:50.000 Now, if they end up continuing their campaign and going against Donald Trump, they will hand the keys to Team Blue.
00:25:56.000 And I think they know that.
00:25:57.000 And I want to encourage them, and I want to say to RFK and Nicole Shanahan, you will be warmly received and get a hero's welcome at the MAGA movement.
00:26:07.000 If RFK would have endorsed Kamala Harris, he would be booed offstage at the DNC.
00:26:13.000 They want nothing to do with him.
00:26:14.000 You know why?
00:26:15.000 Because RFK is too much of a free thinker.
00:26:21.000 RFK is too much of an independent thinker.
00:26:25.000 We want to try to win over the UFC fighter, the Rogan Vote, and the Crypto Bro.
00:26:32.000 And you know there is other, one other...
00:26:36.000 group that we could do much better with, which is the homeschool moms that still have a lot of issues with the handling of COVID.
00:26:46.000 There's a fair amount of COVID hangover anxiety that can shore up tens of thousands of votes in Arizona.
00:26:51.000 I know that.
00:26:52.000 In Pennsylvania, for sure.
00:26:54.000 RFK brings also an exciting element with the youth vote.
00:27:01.000 RFK brings an exciting development With younger voters at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
00:27:09.000 And it would be a seismic development against Team Blue.
00:27:15.000 Brett Weinstein, who came on the program last week.
00:27:19.000 Great man.
00:27:21.000 Brett Weinstein said the most important thing is that we must defeat Team Blue.
00:27:26.000 We can have all of our disagreements after that.
00:27:29.000 And by the way, if Dr. Weinstein, which I hope he comes back on the show, we could have tons of disagreements on stuff.
00:27:34.000 And it would be fun.
00:27:35.000 We're texting with each other.
00:27:36.000 But when you have this menace, when you have this monster, When you have this beast called the Democrat Party that controls every sector of our life and they are going for a death blow against our republic, well then we need to find alliances, we need to find friendships and build a coalition to be able to win against the machine of tyranny.
00:28:03.000 And this moment, this hour calls for that.
00:28:06.000 I'm curious.
00:28:07.000 I want to hear from you.
00:28:08.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:28:10.000 If RFK were to endorse Donald Trump, would that be well received for you?
00:28:15.000 I say absolutely yes.
00:28:16.000 We have to win.
00:28:17.000 Politics is about addition and multiplication, not division and subtraction.

00:29:23.000 charlie4hillsdale.com Joining us now is Byron Donalds, who's just feet away.
00:29:29.000 We're both in Chicago right now.
00:29:31.000 Byron, your reaction to the first night of the Democrat National Convention here in Chicago?
00:29:36.000 Byron, what are you thinking?
00:29:38.000 Charlie, I thought it was a struggle session for Trump derangement syndrome, actually.
00:29:43.000 They spent more time talking about Donald Trump than they did Kamala Harris or Joe Biden combined.
00:29:49.000 And I think there's a reason for that.
00:29:50.000 The reason is Kamala Harris has nothing to run on.
00:29:54.000 This is, and I'm saying it now, and I think I'm going to stick with this one.
00:29:57.000 This is one of those Hollywood movie premieres when the script is terrible and the acting is worse.
00:30:03.000 So what they want to do is focus on everything else except the fact that they have a bad movie that they're trying to sell to the American people.
00:30:10.000 And so, look, yesterday didn't do anything for me.
00:30:12.000 Contrast that with the first night of the RNC, when we were talking about making America wealthy again, and every speaker was either talking about finding ways to improve the economy or school choice for kids who are struggling to find their way into the American dream.
00:30:30.000 That's what we were talking about night one.
00:30:33.000 For the Democrats, they just wanted to talk about Trump derangement syndrome.
00:30:36.000 Half the stuff they said was lies.
00:30:38.000 I mean, it might be great for their base, but it wasn't good for anybody else.
00:30:43.000 So, Byron, they were so focused on trying to say that Jim Crow 2.0 is coming.
00:30:50.000 Let's play Cut30.
00:30:50.000 I want you to respond to Mr. Clyburn.
00:30:54.000 Play Cut30, please.
00:30:55.000 Kamala has been fighting to lower costs for all Americans.
00:31:01.000 And while Trump falsely pleads ignorance of Project 2025, which in my opinion is Jim Crow 2.0.
00:31:11.000 So he's all over the place.
00:31:14.000 First of all, that's not a policy document of the Trump campaign, but talking about Jim Crow 2.0.
00:31:20.000 Byron, your reaction?
00:31:22.000 Well, first of all, let me just say, It's just disgusting.
00:31:26.000 First of all, the Democrats already tried this once with Georgia's election law that they passed two years ago.
00:31:33.000 Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and every other Democrat were running around the country calling that law Jim Crow 2.0.
00:31:40.000 Well, what was the actual output?
00:31:42.000 You had record voter turnout in the state of Georgia in the midterm elections that year.
00:31:48.000 So they lied to the American people.
00:31:50.000 Now they're trying to say that about Project 2025, which quite frankly, hardly anybody has read, except for the people that wrote the thing in the first place.
00:31:58.000 And so now they're trying to say that that's now Jim Crow 2.0.
00:32:02.000 It's disgusting that you reach back To a era in our country, which was a dark day, a dark period for Black people in this country, to justify your political oppositions today.
00:32:14.000 I find that to just be disgusting and reprehensible.
00:32:17.000 Second thing, he also said, Mr. Clyburn also said, talking about Kamala Harris has decided to fight inflation and lower prices.
00:32:26.000 Well, It took her 1,300 days as Vice President of the United States to decide to fight for lower prices?
00:32:34.000 I mean, this is what's going on in this party.
00:32:36.000 They have no policy ideas.
00:32:38.000 They have no vision for the future of this country.
00:32:41.000 And when their bad ideas get seen by the American people, they try to deflect, they try to blame other people, and they try to just shift positions and reverse course.
00:32:52.000 But Kamala Harris isn't going to have the ability to shift positions because she was there lock, stock and barrel with Joe Biden unleashing one of the more terrible domestic policy agendas in the history of our country.
00:33:07.000 One minute remaining here, Byron Donalds.
00:33:10.000 The agenda that we must bring to the American people in contrast to what Barack Obama is going to say tonight, hyper racialization of politics.
00:33:18.000 Failed record.
00:33:19.000 Final thoughts, Byron Donalds.
00:33:21.000 It's really clear.
00:33:23.000 We are going to have a massively growing economy with low inflation.
00:33:26.000 We're going to secure the border.
00:33:28.000 We're going to treat boys as boys and girls as girls.
00:33:31.000 We want them to be educated, not indoctrinated.
00:33:34.000 And then we're going to make sure that there actually is strength and peace in the world.
00:33:39.000 No more of these weird conflicts that bubble up where we just waste billions and billions of dollars of the taxpayer money to cover up failed foreign policy decisions.
00:33:49.000 All those things come to an end with Donald J. Trump as president.
00:33:52.000 Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Kamala Harris, they can say whatever they want, but policy and leadership is what the country needs right now, and that man's Donald J. Trump.
00:34:03.000 Byron Donalds, you're a great man.
00:34:05.000 Keep on advocating, and stay safe here in Chicago.
00:34:08.000 It is the most dangerous city in America, so stay safe.
00:34:10.000 Thank you.
00:34:11.000 Yes, sir.
00:34:12.000 See you, Charlie.
00:34:13.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
00:34:14.000 Email us, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
